I do not understand why we have wasted so much money on these when the money should of been spent buying us water bombing planes. As the only thing we are going to have to fight in Australia are the ever increasing bush fires.

Building a new section/emergency department of the Canberra Hospital hasn’t fixed or will it fix the underlying problems we have always faced with Canberra hospitals.

You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig.

This is so intensely awful. Santos is Australia's ExxonMobil - one of the meanest, most aggressive and bloody-minded fossil fuel companies in the country. They're obsessed with suing their critics into the ground, and they're winning.

Possibly the last sitting day of the Senate. We could go into an election at the beginning of the year & our legend of a Senator addressed his last speech to thank his family, staff & Ken Behrens.

Let's make sure, this is not his last, we are lucky to have him as our ACT Senator. #Canberra #Pocock

Watching the Social Media Minimum Age inquiry.

This is colossal failure by the Labor government.

Unsupported by evidence, nearly impossible to enforce, riddled with privacy risks, unworkable exceptions, and exposes major flaws in Labor's capability and competence.
